The (In)conceivability of Real “Workers’ Control” Under Capitalism
“History teaches, but has no pupils”
Lessons of Socialist Reformisms
In hopes of attaining socialism through parliamentary and non-revolutionary strategies, social democratic parties initially inspired by a Marxian socialist view of development and class struggle gradually distanced themselves from socialism and embraced liberal and even neo-liberal perspectives. For the proponents of a revolutionary rapturous strategy, the cause of this huge divergence was simply the takeover of socialist movements by “opportunis…

Retreat and Return of the Secular in Iran
For nearly a century and a half, Iranian intellectuals' demands for secularism and democracy have remained unfulfilled. Needless to say, the establishment of a religious state has further exacerbated the formidable challenges in achieving their goals. Nonetheless, amid the current difficulties, there are new opportunities that were not available to previous generations of intellectuals. Thirty years of Islamic rule has made the calls for the sepa…

Contradictions of ‘Dissolving the Diasporas’
Radical Islamism and Failed Developmentalism
The rise of radical Islamism in recent years does not limit the applicability of the concept of cultural nationalism. Rather the two are intertwined in ways which this article will attempt to highlight. Islam took specific national forms as modern nation-states arose and the contemporary resurgence of radical Islamism also follows that modern pattern. I examine the emergence of the three most important movements in the Islamic world, namely, the …
Clerical Oligarchy and the Question of "Democracy" in Iran

Work Councils in Iran
Contrary to prevalent arguments in the literature on Iranian work councils ('showras'), this article contends that the push for councils was a premature initiative. While political repression was a very important factor in the defeat of council movement, the demise of the movement stemmed mainly from the weaknesses of the Iranian working class and the left, from the nature and structure of the councils and from the objective conditions in which t…
